all that imported labor force might begin to feel, after 20 or 30 years residence, that they too should have more of the rights of the Emiratis, instead of doing all the hard work at cheap rates while the Emiratis do nothing or very little at high rates.

That's easily managed. If the long term resident workers become a problem, Emiratis just put a cap of 10 years as the maximum time that non-nationals can live in the country. Problem solved.

It's a pretty strange place with ~80% or more of the residents being non-citizens, but unstable isn't a good description for it, especially considering the neighborhood. There is almost no crime or major civil unrest. Managing the growth (traffic, inflation, etc.) is the biggest challenge.
